how come they just dont sell the paint they colored the spray paint can lid!? Haha

Thanks for documenting everything and sharing with us.

A pal of mine used to do that to the painted bumper on his old 60's cars back when he still messed around with 'em.

that's cool, I shared so we can get away from "honey-do's"

thanks, I bet someone got rich off this paint
